NMSU, Bellevue College & Susquehanna University Reps Connect with Students in Bucharest

On May 16, the FEAC-EducationUSA team organized two events for high schoolers interested in studying in the U.S., featuring representatives of three U.S. higher education institutions, namely, Dr. Philip Hull – International Recruiter, Northwest Missouri State University, James Goonan – Director, International Admissions, Susquehanna University, and Hewa Schwan – International Recruitment Manager, Bellevue College.Our guests had a chance to connect with students at the Lauder-Reut Educational Complex, highlighting the wide variety and freedom of choice afforded by the U.S. education system, and study opportunities for international applicants at their respective institutions, ranging from a 2+2 program at Bellevue College to a four-year undergraduate program at either a public (Northwest Missouri State University) or private university (Susquehanna).They also delivered a public information session, kindly hosted and co-organized by the American Corner Bucharest, providing the participants - 50 students from some of the finest high schools in Bucharest – with an overview of the U.S. higher education system and useful advice on choosing a good fit school. Our guests were happy to answer questions from the participants, on topics ranging from financial aid, internships and work opportunities to choosing a major.

The FEAC-EducationUSA team took this opportunity to tell participants a few words about the ways we can assist them in approaching the application process and the resources awaiting them at our center.

Many thanks to Mr. Dan Şandru, Director of Studies at Lauder-Reut Educational Complex, and Ms. Irina Niţu, American Corner Bucharest coordinator, for their kind support in organizing these events.
